Metlink

Remember Metlink? Well it's back! In JS form!

Overview

Metlink, now PTV, is the public transport provider in Melbourne, Australia. They have seen fit to release an iPhone application that purports to be a "one-stop-shop for Victorian public transport information". Anybody who has used it knows otherwise. Luckily for us, however, there's a nifty API backing it up, and thanks to metlinkapi on reddit, it's not so hard to decipher.

This library is an abstraction of that API.

Installation

Really easy.

$ npm install metlink

Or if you want to live on the edge (of commandeering APIs)

$ npm install https://github.com/deoxxa/metlink/tarball/master

  console.log(res);
 
  m.get_stop_list_from_transport_line(type, res[0].line_name, function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
  });
